huuaaahhhh....

Hopefully you can tell where this is from. This was done for the sketchoholic.com contest - interview with Dice Tsutsumi. The topic was childhood anime. So Totoro was the first thing that came to my mind. My Neighbor Totoro was the first and one of the best movie that really influenced me. Not only did it let me know the importance of family, it is also the reason that I got into art. I still have a dream of meeting legendary Miyazaki some day, face to face, and hopefully being able to hold that hand that created all the miyazaki master pieces! Anyway, it was unfortunate that it didnt win anything, but I'm really glad that I've done this. This is one of my favourite piece that I've done recently. Probably because of the warm fuzzy feeling it gives to me inside.

Thanks to Dice and Bobby for this great interview!
